I get the feeling we’ll definitely be back. My first time going to see a lasses match. The entire atmosphere around the game is really refreshing. Just relentless positivity and everyone having a nice time. Aye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just relentless positivity and everyone having a nice time. Glad you both enjoyed it! I took the two bairns today and they were a bit out of sorts today after a mental few days away so they were a bit flat, littlest got bang into singing as usual though. Obviously it's not as partisan in the stands so it's great for the kids, but I was bang into the game today. Felt it was plenty good value for the price paid and a pleasurable day out. Well done to the lasses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a forum in-joke that went over my head They're a YouTube team formed by Spencer Owen 7/8 years ago, they eventually got approved to enter the national league, and have been slowly climbing the leagues since. The average person tends to look at them cynically, but they've done a fair amount for non-league football, and bringing a lot of eyes to the lower reaches of the English game, if you go by Social media numbers they are something like the 18th most followed football clubs in the world. A few years back they merged with FC Basildon women to create the women's team we'll be facing in the final. I've followed them since their Inception and they're a likable team to be honest.

et tu brute Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 https://x.com/PompeyWomen/status/1761851110409519139?s=20 Decent end of match interview from the Pompey manager. Makes a difference from the usual snide cunts in the premier league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. TC Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 What do we reckon the ticket situation will be for the final? I would love to take my daughter to this but I don't have a season ticket or membership. 11k capacity seems small after today's 22k, but it's a long journey compared to playing at St James' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the journey will probably be enough to knock a zero off the end of the crowd number but the couple of thousand that went to Burnley was still great to be part of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how the tickets will work, but I would imagine it'll be first come serve. I'm not even sure there will be much segregation between fans, if any at all, its not all that common in women's football. Also with regards to the choice of stadium, I would be amazed if they changed it, they made quite a big thing of it being there and I wouldn't imagine in precious years they have got much of an attendance. Hopefully we can change that this year, but travel looks like a nightmare! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
